Bills-Rams tickets surge ahead of 2022 NFL season opener originally appeared on NBC Sports Washington
The 2022 NFL season kicks off Thursday with the Los Angeles Rams hosting the Buffalo Bills.
The Rams return nearly their entire Super Bowl championship roster with the exception of eight-time Pro-Bowler Von Miller who will be playing opposite them after signing with Buffalo in the offseason.
Miller joined a Buffalo squad that came up just short of conference glory, losing an epic playoff game against the Kansas City Chiefs. He brings unparalleled leadership and experience to a locker room that features quarterback Josh Allen, wide receiver Stefon Diggs and cornerback Taron Johnson.
